IMPROVBMENT IN GRIDIRONS.

Gite seam norm in in that itttters haunt nut mating part at the sums.

To ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM ANDREWS, acitizen. of Allegheny county, and 'State of Maryland, have invented a new and improved Gridiron and Frying-Pan Combined, for the purpose of frying or broiling meats; and I do hereby declare the following is a. full and exact description thereof, reference being lmid to the accom. panying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Figure I is a top view of my gridiron, and

Figure II .is a section on the line x x. r

The entire utensil is moulded in oje piece. A is me handle; B is a small basin for catching the gravy; C is a; lip or mouth-piece for pouring out the gravy; d d d is the side or rim, whichfon the upper side or face, is made flush with the bars e e e, and extending a little below the bars, on the under side or bottom. The barse e e are united their whole length, and forming between each a gutter, for. conducting the gravy along the imperforated bottom into the basin B.

This combined gridiron and frying-pan may be used for either broiling or frying, and answers equally well for either, as the rim (1 d d makes the utensil a frying-pan, while the bars or ribs constitute it a gridiron.

I am aware that devices 'of a similar kind, with corrugated bottoms, have been made, and do not broadly claim a device of this kind.

What I clai-nias my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, are-'- Bars ea c, united as described, and forming an impcrforatcd bottom, in combination with the rim (2, the

basin B, and the mouth C, constructed,substantially as and for the purpose set forth. I
